I Just LOOOVE being Judgmental 😀
So last week I was at Saks (too many percents off sale) and my wife picked out this sweet shirt for me. I tried it on, and I Judged the sleeves it to be to short for my arms. So we got the blue one instead. Then there was one purple argyle sweater; I Judged it to be ugly on me. Now the green striped one; I Judged it to look nice! I love being Judgmental! Now I have this nice shirt and sweater!-)
Most of the time at lunch instead of eating food I Judge too be too greasy or too expensive, I just get a $5 Tuna on honey oat Sub from Subways (eat fresh:-), or a $5 chicken Shawarma from LaPita! I Judge them to be healthier, tastier, and cheaper! Being Judgmental keeps me healthy and saving money that I don’t need to be spending. It’s awesome!
As a dj, most of what I do is Judgmental. I have to choose which songs are hot or not, which songs have a message that I want to promote, and which ones are filled with curses and error that I won’t play. If I wasn’t Judgmental, I would be like all the wicked deejays who spin and promote sinful, curse-filled, prideful, mind-degrading music, and I would be in danger of God’s final Judgment.
Yes, God will Judge all humans.
27: And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the Judgment:
Hebrews 9
So I practice being judgmental in order to avoid being judged by Him
31: For if we would Judge ourselves, we should not be Judged. 1 Corinthians 11
Jesus said not to pass final judgment (that’s God’s job), or do unrighteous judgment.
1: Judge not, that ye be not Judged.
2: For with what Judgment ye Judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
3: And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Matthew 7
But He didn’t say we couldn’t Judge at all – Jesus said to Judge righteous Judgment:
Judge not according to the appearance, but Judge righteous Judgment. John 7:24
Is Judgement something I have to be quiet about? No. I also talk about Judgment.
30: The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of Judgment. Psalms 37
13: With my lips have I declared all the Judgments of thy mouth. Psalms 119
Paul reasoned with people of righteousness, temperance, and Judgement to come.
And as he reasoned of righteousness, temperance, and Judgment to come, Felix trembled, and answered, Go thy way for this time; when I have a convenient season, I will call for thee. Acts 24:25
We also grow from baby Christians to mature Christians by exercising our Judgment. We go from Milk to Meat.
13: For every one that useth milk is unskillful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.
14: But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil. Hebrews 5
The spirit of the Lord Judges for the poor and for those who can’t defend themselves, like:
unborn babies/ the environment/ oppressed people / slaves / the poor / those being taken advantage of / widows/ children/ humpback whales/ persecuted Christians / redwood forests/ unpaid preachers/ insert your righteous cause here.
But with righteousness shall he Judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked. Isaiah 11:4
Righteous men speak up for them also.
Open thy mouth, Judge righteously, and plead the cause of the Poor and needy. Proverbs 31:9
We also excercise righteous Judgement for widows and the fatherless children. (Psalms).
1: Give the king thy Judgments, O God, and thy righteousness unto the king’s son.
2: He shall Judge thy people with righteousness, and thy poor with Judgment.
3: The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the little hills, by righteousness.
4: He shall Judge the poor of the people, he shall save the children of the needy, and shall break in pieces the oppressor. Psalms 72
Learn to do well; seek Judgment, relieve the oppressed, Judge the fatherless, plead for the widow. Isaiah 1:17
Did you ever wonder: What are the most important themes in the Word of God? If I’m only going to study 3 things about God, what should I study? Well, Jesus already told us:
23: Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law: Judgment, Mercy, and Faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. Matthew 23
So the MOST IMPORTANT, heaviest, weightiest parts of the Word of God are: Judgment, Mercy, and Faith. All THRE are the most important, not just one or two. These are the most important things to understand about Jesus and the Word of God. Who said that? Not me, but Jesus himself.
I remember one time recently that I wasn’t Judgmental enough. My sister and I did business with some people that said they were Christians, so we trusted them. Plus, the business worked. If it works, do it, right? That’s the American way. Wrong. We didn’t Judge them based on the truth, and we didn’t test their spirits. We didn’t want to be Judgmental.
Now the business is over, and one of the members stole a lot of money. (Not ours… Thank God). But it could have been ours. There were people that knew better, that didn’t say anything to us; probably because they didn’t want to appear “Judgmental.”
Now I LOOOVE being Judgmental! I realize that using good Judgment based on Gods Word and Spirit is what has kept me from a lot of bad decisions my whole entire life.
I remember Judging sisters to be my sister instead of assuming that every attractive female was my potential wife to date (1 Timothy 5:2). Then when God DID bring me my custom tailored wife, my Judgment was good enough to recognize her! Now we are more blessed than ever – all because we both are Judgmental.
God also tells us to test (Judge) the spirits, and see whether they be of God. For more on how to test spirits- see this article:

What about Love? How does that relate to judgment?
15: Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish judgment in the gate: it may be that the LORD God of hosts will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph. Amos 5
Notice how the love of good and hatred of evil is related to good judgment.
10: Ye that love the LORD, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints; he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked. Psalms 97
People that love the Lord should hate things that are evil.
Let your love be without dissimulation (hypocrisy), abhor what is evil, love what is good. Romans 12:19
So guess what this means: People that claim to have Love, but call you a hypocrite for abhorring what is evil and loving what is good… THEY are actually the hypocrites, according to Romans 12:9. They have dissimulation in their love (hypocritical love). Their love is fake, because they don’t hate evil. Loving good and hating evil are two sides of the SAME coin.
I try to keep my love real… which is why I just LOOOVE being Judgemental:-) If you want to Judge righteously and live a good life, I suggest you study the Word of God, and ignore the word of man.
So what am I Judgmental of:
myself
my heart
my actions
the food I eat
the clothes I buy
what I do
the choices I make
the political positions I support
the causes I push
the ideas I promote
where I go
what I read
what I watch
what I listen to
who I follow
And if you don’t like what I Judge… Then why you Judging me for my Judgments? !-)
Kingdom people: Don’t be afraid to hate what is evil, and love what is good, and don’t let anybody intimidate you or shut you up. Your free speech is not only given to you by the US Constitution, but by your Sonship in the Kingdom of God!
Here is more encouragement for you:
21: Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
22: And of some have compassion, making a difference:
23: And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh. Jude 1
So God says that sometimes you have save people using compassion and making a difference… And sometimes you have to use fear and hatred. Who said that one… me? No. God did. Be led by the spirit. Let’s go from Milk to Meat saints.
To those of you who wonder where you will stand in God’s Final Judgment:
If you can admit that you have made bad Judgments in life… It’s not too late for you. Jesus dying on the Cross was actually Him taking God’s Judgment FOR you. If you believe in Him for that, He will be your SUBSTITUTE Punishment, and you can be righteous in God’s righteousness. God forgives people that confess and turn away from their sin. Then, you’ll pass God’s test on that final Judgment day. That’s called Mercy!
27: And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
28: So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.
Hebrews 9
Just be careful to be very Judgmental in all of your actions from now on. Ask God what to do. “Go and sin no more!” -Jesus
